How To Find Your Place In Biglaw
The Unconventional Path To Biglaw Partnership With David Moreno.
David Moreno is a Biglaw partner, but that doesn’t mean he took the typical route to get there. From his early days as a lawyer in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, to being a sports agent, to his time in a boutique law firm, to Biglaw partnership at Brown Rudnick, David’s seen the legal industry from a lot of different angles and he’s eager to share his experiences.
In the latest episode of The Jabot, I chat with David about diversity in Biglaw what are some of the challenges for recruiting and retention of diverse attorneys. We discuss his recent lateral move to Brown Rudnick, and what are some of the things he looked for in making that jump, and advice for others looking to move firms. We also talk about David’s passion for pro bono work and why is that so important for the legal industry.
The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wore when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Happy listening!
